The Jewish memorials often promote a political agenda too (Tolerance and equality under the law).

As I have pointed out many times now, you claimed that the memorial doesn't promote an agenda any more than any Jewish memorial does.

Yep. I have stood by that in every post I've made.

Therefore, since
the gay memorial seeks to go beyond memorializing the deaths of gay people during the holocaust by also attempting to acclimate the public to the site of the practice of homosexuality, there must be a Jewish memorial seeking to acclimate the public to the practice of the Jewish faith.

It is your
opinion that the gay memorial goes beyond memorializing the deaths of gay people by symbolizing gay people in a certain way. I do not share that opinion. I think that symbolizing gay people in that way is does no more to acclimate people to gay people (which is the intent) than the Jewish symbols do for Jewish people. Furthermore, there are many many more Jewish monuments. The net effect of all of them is greater than the few gay ones, in my opinion.

Please back up your claim by providing supporting evidence.

My claim that the gay monument does no more to acclimate people to gay people than the Jewish monuments do Jewish people? Sorry, I can't find a study on these monuments and their effects on populations.
